Oswald did not answer. He picked up a paper-knife and tested its' plie{ ancy by bending it almost double. "Wentworth," he asked, "do you happen to think of any one who could take Zilla Paget's part?" Enoch laid his cigar on atray and sat bolt upright. "Were you in front last night?" he asked curtly. "No," Oswald spoke gravely. "Miss Paget and Dorcas had nine curtain calls at the end of the second act. The gallery began to hiss. Peo- . ple downstairs joined in. Can you think of any act:ess who is free, or engaged for tha" matter, capable of touching her in the part?" "It was nob acting last night. Were you back of the scenes?" Enoch brought down his fist with a thud on the table. © "I was not, and I'm sorry enough that I wasn't. I would have settled things differently. I have had the whole story rehearsed to me by several people. Do you know that Miss Paget's child is in! my home 7" Oswald bent his knife to the point of resistance. It snapped in two pieces, waste basket, blind boy?" "Yes." Wentworth's voice was fierce with irritation, "I have not seen him--I have no wish to see him. Dor- cas told me this morning what she had saddled herself with. She and I thrashed the question out." He laughed unpleacantly. "It did precious little good." "Would you have turned the child into the streeb?"

' Miss Paget knows, I fancy, but she has not given me the man's name, She says it was a piece of nasty re- venge." "She told you this?"- : "Yes, I have had a nice morning. It was gone over step by step at home, , then again with Miss Paget. She wants the child." "To care'for?" "No," Wentworth turned hs eyes studiously in another direction. "She intends to send him back to England immediately. Why shouldn't she? The woman. A blind youngster would tie her down neck and heels. They understand that sorb in an asylum. There isn't a doubt that he would be happier there." "That is your honest conviction?" "I'm sure of one thing. That brat is not to be harbored in my house. Suppose the mother made it outa case of kidnapping?" "I had not thought of it in that light." . "Well, think of it now," Enoch burst out furiously. "I am as fond of Dor. cas as any brother could be, but she is the sort of girl who can't be moved when she takes a stand on anything. Miss Paget is a clever, handsome wo- man. I cannot be wholly at odds with her, seeing her every day of my life as I do."
